Evil, once it is inside a person, never really goes away - it may remain dormant for many years, but it is always there. To the horror of a Peterborough family back in 2018, the evil that was dormant in one such individual stirred with the most horrific of consequences - at the same time, reactivating the nightmare that a Derbyshire family had spent almost four decades trying to deal with.

If a person makes an enemy, the chances are that the circumstances or events that has led to such a thing will not extend further than a series of harsh words exchanged, occasionally a physical confrontation, and a years long, perhaps lifelong dislike of that person. This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we head to Liverpool and back to 2008 for a tale of a feud that festered over years, and led to the most horrific and tragic of circumstances.

We head to the East Yorkshire city of Hull this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, where one bright April evening in 2016, the resident of number 9 May Street got the shock of her life as she peered into the garden of the neighbouring property.Amongst the various clutter and discarded rubbish in the garden was a duvet.

Out of which, was poking a human leg....

"E AH A DE OH - The Farmer Wants A Wife" goes the old nursery rhyme. This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we head to Hertfordshire and back to 2018, where we will hear the tragic tale of a farmer who, if he could have, would have certainly wanted a better wife.

One who, along with her lover, wanted nothing more than him dead.

06 Nov 2024Are You Sure You're Legal?01:16:54


I used to watch a great sci-fi show back in the 90's called The Pretender, about a genius who could become anything he wanted to be, fit into any walk of life, which he used to do to help people. The people we will meet this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast are in no way geniuses though - for some people don't let trivialities such as qualifications or aptitude get in their way - and instead, rely on a bit of shopping, the gift of the gab, and more front than Brighton to get by.

For this time around, we look at some of those pretending to be THIS side of the law.

11 Nov 2024You Deserve A Medal For That!01:22:42

Rememberance Day - a day where we should each give thanks, respect and thoughts to those who through their sacrifices are why we have the freedoms we do today. To be proud. The countless former and serving members of the Armed Forces who each display the medals that they have earned do so with this in abundance, recognition of such sacrifices and bravery they have each earned.

And yet, there are many people who also do this - but without the commitment, hard work and bravery that it takes to do so, they simply embellish or even act out a fantasy, basking in glory that they have not attained - as you shall come to see here.

18 Nov 2024Captain Hogwash01:13:27

Pilot, Cruise Ship Captain, successful businessman, gifted salesman, entrepreneur, property renovator, heir to a massive fortune, able to drop claims of rubbing shoulders with political figures, all whilst living a champagne lifestyle. Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we meet an individual who was all that and more.

On paper, and according to him, anyway - but one who left a costly trail of devestation in his wake.

There is a saying, Revenge is a dish best served cold. For the tale this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we head back to 1983, and over to Ireland's capital city of Dublin, for a bleak tale where revenge was served cold-blooded.

Revenge which ended in triple murder.

10 Dec 2024The Beast Of Farley Mount01:12:17

The Hampshire beauty spot of Farley Mount Country Park, located near the city of Winchester, is a popular destination in daylight hours for families, joggers and dog walkers, whilst of the evening, it takes on a different kind of visitor - couples, and the voyeuristic who enjoy watching these for their own gratification. During the 1990's, it was also the scene of several disturbing incidents and attacks by an offender who to this day, remains at large, having never faced justice.

Or did he?

We head up to the Scottish Highland city of Inverness, and back to the early 2000's this time on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, for a harrowing tale of a crime that shocked Scotland to the core, a definition of cruelty, evil, and a hauling over the coals of a system that, so tragically, failed a little girl.

5 year old Danielle Reid. Hers is a name that following this, I doubt you will forget.

03 Jan 2025Houses Of Blood - Bloodbath On A New Year's Day01:10:17

"I have just murdered my wife in her bed. I have just stabbed them, and slit their throats. His name is Martin Griffiths. There is blood everywhere. This has just happened. My children are safe at my mother's house"

This was the context of a call to an emergency services operator in the early hours of New Year's Day, 2020, the implications of which were to rock the village of Duffield, in Derbyshire, to the core - and leave three families destroyed.

The discovery of a woman's body in a rural Warwickshire layby in September 1994 was the start of what would become to detectives one of the most complex investigations in Warwickshire Police history, and would ultimately lead them to a cold and calculating killer.

This time and next on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, I shall bring you the story.

At least, that was Gordon's account, anyway....

This is a true monster here, who we will get to meet. But this time around, lets start with how he was captured....

It was a simple, quick detour to avoid prying eyes - and it was fortunate that it was just that too, a quick detour, for if it wasn't, then perhaps Teresa Thornhill wouldn't be here today.

That evening in Nottingham in April 1988, she very certainly only narrowly escaped the clutches of death, thanks in part to the survivor she was. Because she was the survivor, her evidence would later be crucial in bringing to a very definite end the reign of arguably, Britain's most prolific child killer.

This is Teresa's story.

'That's our man. I'd bet my life on it'

These are the words of Assistant Chief Constable Hector Clark back in July 1990, moments after the initial, briefest of meetings with the man he was describing here, who just over a month later, was serving a sentence of life imprisonment for an almost carbon copy crime to the series he and his team had been investigating for eight years by then.

Continuing with The Lost Girls multi episode tale then this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, was this indeed the same man? And could evidence be found to prove these suspicions?

His name? Robert Black.

Continuing with The Lost Girls multi episode tale then this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, was the individual heading to trial for these, Robert Black, indeed the man responsible for the deaths of Susan Maxwell, Caroline Hogg and Sarah Harper - and almost Theresa Thornhill?

14 Apr 2025The Lost Girls: Part 9 - Jennifer01:35:04

The new red bicycle had fast become her pride and joy, all of her friends had seen it, and one sunny afternoon in August 1981, nine year old Jennifer Cardy set off from her home in Ballinderry to cycle the short distance to show the first friend she had it again, so excited was she.

As a small Datsun van passed her as she did, Jennifer had no idea that a predator, a monster, was waiting for her. It would take thirty years, but the wheels of justice did eventually turn for Jennifer, and the individual who made her the Lost Girl we haven't yet mentioned through the arc finally stood in the dock. He needs no introduction, or is deserving of her name being spoken.

This is Jennifer's story.

Part 1 of a multi-part episode on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast this week, as we head north of the UK to Scotland to look at a remarkable case that loosely links a series of ten deaths.

And it begins with the strange tale of this guy.

02 Aug 2019The Wolfman Of London01:13:17
Join The True Crime Enthusiast, as this week we head back to 1986 for a recount of a savage case of multiple murder. Before Stephen Port, before Colin Ireland, another killer stalked the streets of London's gay scene. One who is surprisingly often forgotten or overlooked - surprising, because the crimes are some of the most horrific ever recounted. 

The episode contains descriptions of crimes and events of a sexual nature that some listeners may find disturbing or upsetting, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
